IMPD Deputy Chief Chris Bailey said at the scene that a preliminary investigation indicates officers pulled over a vehicle at about 12:31 p.m. Thursday. About six minutes later, the officers informed dispatchers that they had been involved in a shooting.

During the traffic stop, Christian, a passenger in the car, was being uncooperative with officers, according to IMPD. At some point he was asked to get out of the vehicle, Bailey said. The officers then noticed he had a weapon, Bailey said.

A struggle for the weapon ensued, during which a Taser was deployed by an officer, Bailey said. The Taser was ineffective, police said, and the struggle continued.
